Today, September 3, 2025, the Idaho Attorney General’s Office announced that criminal charges will not be filed against the officers involved in the shooting of Victor Perez. The City of Pocatello has been committed to fully cooperating with the independent investigation and review, and respects the Attorney General’s determination. This decision does not lessen the pain of losing Victor, nor does it erase the grief felt in our community. We recognize the weight of this moment for everyone affected.
“My heart goes out to the Perez family over the loss of Victor. This incident has been difficult for our entire community. In Pocatello we stand together in challenging times. I am confident we will continue to support one another as we move forward,” said Mayor Brian Blad.
